Amulet by Kazu Kibuishi. Amulet starts with a prologue of what happens before the story starts. Sadly her dad died and she and her mother are left. Years later Emily (the story's main character) has a brother and they move to a new town, in a new house.

So they run and hide. After they find a house and find their great grandpa inside. He tel them to save their mother before passing away. I think Emily and her brother try to say they being brave is good in life.
